Fall Equinox Circle: Embracing Change

Saturday, September 28th, 6:30-9 pm

The Fall Equinox is a time of equilibrium. It is the midpoint where the day and nights are equal and we begin the transition from more light into the darkness.

Autumn equinox represents the reflection and relaxation that comes after action, a time of soaking in the fruition of all that you planted and accomplished in your more “outward” spring and summer months.

In this circle we will be honoring the energy of the fall season as we learn to cultivate the wisdom of our own inner-fall and how to better embody a life that is cohesive to nature’s sacred seasons.

We will sit in circle, do a guided mediation, participate in a fire ritual to burn things we wish to release, offer plant brushings to clear away old energy, and open the circle for sacred sharing and space holding.

Women, Femme & non-binary folx welcome.

Contemplative Herbalism: A Four Part Seasonal Series Herbal Walk and Mindfulness Practice

This class creatively brings together plants, hikes, and mindfulness. Through hiking we will bring awareness to the medicinal plants growing in the chosen natural area. Following the hike we will learn and practice mindfulness through walking meditation and end with a community sit. We invite a cultivation of gratitude and Earth-kindness through reflection on right relationship with plants.

This class will take place in four separate sessions throughout the seasonal calendar year. The goal is to encounter the same area through the changing seasons. By doing this we feel into the natural shift of the plant’s energy as they flow from season to season. Through witnessing, we consider or even personally connect with the inherent impermanence of nature. We invite the community to consider what a deep and intimate connection with the Earth looks like in our personal and collective daily lives.

When you sign up you agree to all four sessions (one in the fall, winter, spring, and summer). If you are unable to attend a session for any reason, we are not offering makeup hikes or refunds. However, we can offer you the material to guide your own hike and mindful walk.

This group is friendly to all ages and hiking abilities. Both teachers are herbalists, parents, and mindful humans.

This group will have children in it and ALL are welcome. The price is per adult and children are free. This can be a wonderful way to invite ourselves into a fresh and playful mind.
